Speed (ENGLISH)

Speed (Mark Mancina). Against the sure option to choose one composer with solid experience in composition for action films, the director Jan de Bont wanted to entrust the music to an almost unknown Mark Mancina, who had not yet a solo scoring credit on a major feature. Lucky for the film music, the director got his own way, and Mancina created one of the best modern scores for a film of dramatic action. And it is that if the film is good, the score is always good. It is a question of cause - effect.

Speed is possibly the best score composed by Mark Mancina, which announced him worldwide and the right to enter the first level composers select group. expanded edition of the score includes more enough footage that to the standard version, including several themes with musical moments that they were missed in the first edition, as the action motif in synthesizers of Pop Quiz, the synths of Payne Explodes and Bus Enters Freeway, the dramatic moment of Jack Leaves the Bus, the dynamism of Annie's Loaded / Getting on Train and the electronic tender flute of Runaway Train. Another detail that La-La Land always bears in mind is putting the tracks in chronological order, unlike the original version that, in this aspect, is untid enough.

The expanded edition includes the theme Speed by Billy Idol, recruited by the studio to compose this song for the film's end credits, thing to be welcomed because, although it is not part of the score, it is music specifically created for the movie.
